Words cannot say enough about my experience with Mark Everett. His expertise shined on every level. My project had stalled out due to permits, and I was feeling like my project wouldn't get the permits I needed to complete the additions to my house in San Rafael. I was converting what was once a garage into a third bedroom with a full bath and shower. The city said it wasn't possible. My contractor basically said it would be an illegal unit. Low and behold, Mark came over to look at my home and said confidently he would be able to get it grandfathered in. I went from probably having to tear it out, to within a matter of 45 days submitting blueprints and soon after it was approved. Mark not only added several hundred thousand dollars to the value of my house, but he also got an additional storage shed added as well. The planning department knows Mark from his many years remodeling homes, so they know he does everything to code. The code enforcement guy literally said, Oh... it's you (Mark) and looked around briefly before signing my approval. What ever you spend on Up2Code, I promise it will be the best money you'll spend on your project. You'll save so much time and money, it's not even a question. Mark is the first guy I will call on all of my projects. He doesn't mess around and in an industry where everyone will rip you off, Mark is very trusted and morally a great person. I could go on, but I'll leave it at that. read more
